Alistair McGowan

We are excited to announce that after the success of the main festival in May and our sell out Pop-Up events in November, we’re planning our third full festival in May 2025

The varied and exciting weekend of events has been put together by festival Chair, Alistair McGowan, who says… Our programme for 2025 is as full of variety as ever!”

We begin with our legendary ‘Celebrity Concert’, then, Alistair McGowan brings Erik Satie to life, we have concerts which turn the spotlight on American and Polish composers, a piano duet arrangement of Holst’s Planets Suite, ‘Music to Read To’ (where you are urged to bring your book to read while listening), ‘Desert Island Piano’ with Sheila Hancock, Debbie Wiseman plays her own music from ‘Wolf Hall’; we have more ‘Jazz in the Afternoon’, an evening of ‘Popular Classics’, solo recitals from two of this country’s most cherished pianists: Joanna MacGregor and Peter Donohoe and more…!

The website will be fully updated by mid-December 2024.

Put the dates in your diary and get ready!
